Another for a row machine. I'll do 20 minutes on one, and I'm feeling pretty dead afterwards. I love it.

Just make sure someone shows you how to properly use it.

Funniest thing I've read in this whole Thread....
And why would that be funny?
Spoiler:
Notice anything that all of those guys have in common?? Their midsections are comprised of larger, bulkier muscles in order to support large amounts of weight... Something that, judging simply by your profile picture, you cannot do with good form.
THAT is why I find your comment rather funny.
@OP, seriously mate, DONT use those kinds of pictures as motivation, unless you are actually going to have the goal of competing in powerlifting/bodybuilding competitions. In fact, I would suggest staying away from even the notion of "looking better". Keep your goal at being healthier, and reaching a healthy/healthier weight... There's quite a bit of good things on this thread already ranging from "simple" things like trimming down/cutting out "bad" foods, etc.
Having taken a bit of a look around that site, it is pretty cool for sure, and an interesting way to approach fitness.
I think it's not the best for people that have some athletic background, but I think for those that don't, it's really great. I think its a great basic resource for info, as well as a great means to accountability, one of the things that I know I struggle with sometimes when it comes to going to the gym.

Agreed, accountability is pretty good for getting me into the gym, or back into it after a schedule change/injury, life, etc.
It's one of my big frustrations right now. is that with my current school schedule, combined with when my kids' daycare closes and when my wife gets home from work means that I have either an extremely limited window to get to my gym, or my only real exercise for the week is at rugby practices.
Next quarter I'm taking all early bird classes to accommodate my need to support my rugby club and get to the gym.

You're telling me, dude. I've only lifted like, twice since my daughter was born because all I have energy for lately is a short cardio session.
And if you're drinkin' well, you know that you're my friend and I say "I think I'll have myself a beer"
